General Norman Johnson, the lead singer for Chairmen Of The Board has died at 67, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
General Norman Johnson, lead singer of the soul vocal trio Chairmen of the Board, died Wednesday at age 67.
His group was best known for the song “Give Me Just a Little More Time,” a favorite of Carolina beach music and shag dancing aficionados. It’s a defining song of the Southern soul sub-genre. The track climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard singles chart in 1970. The group would release three more Top 40 hits in 1970, but that was the end of the Chairmen’s chart run.
